A Saturday night fire heavily damaged a home at 722 Fisher Avenue.
The home, reportedly owned by Mark and Carla Pedigo, was being rented. Jesse & Rebbeca VanDyne and their 2 year old daughter lived there but were not injured. However the family lost all of their belongings including 2 pets.
The fire reportedly started in the kitchen and quickly spread. Members of the Smithville Volunteer Fire Department brought the blaze under control but the home sustained extensive damage. The Smithville Police Department and DeKalb EMS were also on the scene.
If anyone would like to help the family contact Todd VanDyne at 615-318-7702. If no answer please leave a message.
